Summer Adventures, Part IV

For our last big summer adventure, we headed to the Oregon Coast for a week of fun (without the sun) with Ben's family. 4 of his 5 siblings were there (the other is on a mission), all the grandkids and Nana and Papa. We had a wonderful week with lots of sand, water, and playing!




Ben won the hand stand contest!


Papa brought his truck this year and the kids had a blast riding in the back to and from the beach.


Chloe is still not afraid of the ocean, nor bothered by its coldness!

The two Beach Beauties!

How the kids "ride" the boogie boards.....

A great action shot running through the ocean!

Baby row- 3 babies to hold, plus my 2 to lug around.

Mitchell loves his Papa- he did not leave his side all week.

If there was one thing all of the kids loved more than anything it was the HOT TUB! Requests were made hourly to get in that darn tub.


Lewis and Clark, discovering the Oregon Coast.

Our traditional "names in the sand" pictures.


The Andros Family in our tie dye shirts!

A great year at the beach!

Now on to our next adventure- preparing for 2 new kids!

When I look at the pictures, I just want to go back to the beach and be all together (minus the flu).

I was just thinking you hadn't blogged for a while, but you sure made up for the lack!! It is fun to see all of your cute pictures! I'm glad you guys had an enjoyable summer! I can't believe how big your kids are, especially Chloe. She looks so grown up! Now after all that excitement, go relax (and chill with a hat on!)!! You look great! Good luck with the last weeks of pregnancy!
